If you’re looking for a little project - no major renovations required, perhaps the chance to operate a business from home - then this former almshouse could be just the ticket.

Idyllically situated in Rushbrooke (close to Bury St Edmunds) and with far-reaching countryside views at the rear, all Jermyn Cottage really needs is a new custodian to give it a lick of paint and a sprinkle of well-thought-out modernisation.

The single-storey home offers one bedroom and a sitting room with exposed wooden floors, an open fireplace and French doors that open to the pristine manicured lawns of the cottage garden where there are wild flower borders and a peaceful outlook.

The kitchen and breakfast room has wall and base units, a dresser, larder cupboard and doors to the front and rear of the property.

Handily there are two studio buildings which could be used for all kinds of things - an office, gym, cinema room - it’s up to you.

The property does have to be sen to be appreciated so why not pop along to the open day this week?

Open house - April 23, 10am to 11.30am.
